in some cases, the coating removed,
and the whole tongue red and angry

with alum-water borax-watcr. rs

of the irrilants, and improve tho state

Pertinent Facts for the Young Busines.
Men of the Country.
"In averaging the amount Of profit
to be made on different kinds OF goods.
notice must be taken Of the diiIcren;
proportions that will probably be sold
Of each kind" very pertinently re-
marks an old merchant. "lt will not
be enough that a stock of goods newly
laid IN 20 start business with are so ac-
cuustely averaged IN selling price that
when all are sold they will just yield
say 25 per cent. profit
IF. for instance, Of n stock Of SG, G0C
laid ia for business, 81. 900 Is marked
at an advance Of 10 per cent, 81, 900 at
20 per cent, $1,000 al 25 per cent.
81, 900 at 80 per cent and $1,000 ut 40
per cent. the whole when sold will
average 25 per cent. But II Is almost
a certainty that the first 1900 worth
Of goods sold would not be at profit
Of over 70 per cent
"By this time probably the stock
would require replonishing mainly in
the goods paying 10 per cent profit So
that the next 1900 sold out again
would only yield 20 per cent profit
and this would be continued the ycar
through. and the retailer would find
when the year came around again and
he took account Of his stock, that fol
some unaccouutable reason his profit
were not forthcoming.
"This Is very essential matter "a

Losses in this way oftenest occur with
those who undertake to sell leading
articles at very little profit These
